If you are going to attack someone it would be nice if you had your facts straight. Some of you should thank your lucky stars I am not a mod. This sh*t is not happening on my watch.

No need to make excuses! So many of us have gained so much from these forums, this site... I personally have at least three trips to TLV, an upcoming trip to JNB/AUH, various statuses and countless points all of which are at least partially in thanks to you and the world that you opened me up to.

Of course I know that you make money on the side, but that is besides the point. That has not made any less of anything that I have. IMHO, those who don't see it that way is being even more selfish than they accuse you of being.

Dan goes above and beyond the call-of-duty. All agree on that.
If we all went that far beyond our call of duty in our workplaces each day, we'd all be living in a great place.

First of all, anybody who is POSTING on this FORUM should already KNOW that the best info is deep, deep in the forum, not on the main site!  ;D ;D ;D

No offense, but to me, the DDMS is almost like the Facebook page... it's for the masses.

Most of the so called "attackers" are not accusing him of being selfish. He is, after all, no more selfish than the banker or lawyer or plumber who provides services for pay. All we are saying is that he's not more altruistic than any other businessman (who btw also help others, sometimes for free, sometimes at reduced rate, chesed, etc.). It's astonishing how some DDF chasidim are so blinded by admiration that they can't see this site for what it is: a business like all others. There'es nothing wrong or insulting about that.

Of course it is a business. The difference is all his decisions are not based on profit. What is your beef anyway? That he is not falling over the 140k offer?

U know when Dan posts a crazy cheap price mistake like for a flight I suppose its possible that in the back of his mind he's thinking how he might help others but his main concern is generating traffic for the site which raises the bottom line. Now, before some DDF chasidim go crazy, THERES NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT. Its called doing business. But at least recognize it for what it is. His primary concern is for himself and his family, not to provide you and you're family with deals. As such, hes human (gasp!!!) like every other businessman.

So his business is based 80% profit and 20% not? So what? youre missing the point. Stop looking at him like some big tzadik doing tovos for everybody. He may be the nicest guy in the world but hes running a business. And i have no specific complain here. Im just asking u to wake up and smell the coffee. Hes running a business not a gemach.

Who thinks that I'm a tzadik exactly anyway?
Have to meet some of these people to set them straight ;)

All I've encountered were people with hakaras hatov. People who flew places they otherwise couldn't afford.  I giggle when someone in a random restaurant in MIA goes crazy when they see me.  But all they really care to do is say thanks. And perhaps take a selfie for whatever reason.

Not I get that your (likely NYC if I had to guess) upbringing is to not appreciate/express sincere gratitude for anything that's not 100% altruistic (as if that exists anywhere), but it really bothers you that someone else might be thankful despite the fact that it's a business?
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.
